What is the Victoria Forum Video Contest?
The Victoria Forum Video Contest is a video contest hosted by The Victoria Forum and the Global Business School Network (GBSN), in collaboration with Qatar University College of Economics and Business et Woxsen University. The competition challenges university students in the GBSN network and beyond to produce original, unpublished videos sharing experiences and perspectives to inspire efforts to build trust for a shared future.
In our inter-dependent world, a pervasive and increasing crisis of trust hinders progress and complicates our path forward. The Victoria Forum calls for collective action to combat the erosion of trust that has already occurred and build trust across the various divides that are hampering collective action. The Victoria Forum is looking for original videos that inspire efforts to build and rebuild trust. Entries should describe opportunities to drive change, as well as illuminate relevant causes of diminishing trust.
Contest organizers are seeking entries that are richly contextualized and real. Most importantly, they are seeking videos that have the potential to shift the conversation in meaningful ways and foster collective action.
Entries are accepted in each of the following four categories:
Confiance dans les institutions
La corruption, les préjugés et le sentiment de déconnexion pèsent sur les institutions, remettant en question les fondements de la confiance et de l’ordre mondial.
Confiance dans les systèmes économiques
Les inégalités économiques alimentent les troubles sociaux, tant entre les nations qu’au sein de celles-ci. La suspicion envers les entités commerciales remet en question le développement de la confiance dans les systèmes économiques.
Confiance et conflit
Les conflits régionaux, les déplacements humains et les défis géopolitiques mettent à rude épreuve la confiance entre les nations, nécessitant des efforts pour reconstruire et favoriser la confiance.
Confiance et révolution numérique
Même si le monde est connecté, la révolution numérique et l’IA exacerbent les divisions par la désinformation, entraînant un déclin de la confiance interpersonnelle.
